The deputy looked at Jiang Chen for a while, then nodded at Jiang Chen and said, "Okay, sir, as you wish." ”
Watching this assistant leave, Vincent smiled and looked at Jiang Chen and teased: "Jiang, now is not the time to be angry. You know that even in the West, there are not many people who can accept a medium-rare steak, let alone the oriental people who prefer cooked food. I suggest you have a medium-rare or a fully rare steak, such a good steak, don't waste it. ”
"Hehe, Mr. Vincent, don't worry, I will certainly live up to your good intentions. Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
"Well, I hope you eat with such confidence. Vincent shrugged his shoulders and said.
After listening to the translation, Director Yuan next to them whispered to Jiang Chen with some concern and asked, "Xiao Jiang, it's okay, there's no need to be angry, this Westerner is just tempting you to be fooled." ”
Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry, don't say it's a cooked steak, I've eaten all the raw yak meat, let alone this kind of veal steak, there's no problem." ”
Jiang Chen was telling the truth, he had indeed eaten whole life yak meat, that is, when he was training rookies in the wolf's den. Although they were eating roasted beef at that time, Jiang Chen and the others must have prepared something before this. It's impossible for Jiang Chen to say that if he can eat, he will eat it directly for these team members, what if there is an accident. So they would try it in advance, and Jiang Chen volunteered to be one of those who tried it. And the steak he ate was the same as the soldiers he was trained at that time, all of them were boiled water, although it was not a real raw steak, but it was also a near-raw steak, that is, it was just a hot steak. That's why now Jiang Chen has this confidence, and he ordered a cooked steak, thinking that the taste should not be bad enough to take it. And Deputy Director Song, although they were still a little worried, but seeing Jiang Chen's confident appearance, they didn't stop it.
Sure enough, the assistant went back and told him about it, which caused the chef and the other chefs to look at Jiang Chen, as if they were surprised how an Oriental actually ordered a cooked steak that even Westerners didn't dare to try. And after looking at Jiang Chen, the chef actually started to do it himself, he sandwiched a piece of steak and put it on the iron plate specially for frying steak, and then quickly flipped it, just to see the juice on the surface of this steak evaporate, and the color changed slightly and was taken out by the chef and put on the plate held by the assistant on the side. Then the chef drizzled some more slurry and wiped the edges of the steak plate with a clean, nonfat cloth before letting the assistant serve it.
And this assistant put this steak in front of Jiang Chen under everyone's gaze: "Sir, this is the rare steak you want, please use it slowly." ”
"Thank you. Jiang Chen nodded at the assistant, then sniffed it before picking up the knife and fork, cut a piece from the side, and looked at the cut noodles, sure enough, it was a cooked steak. The inside was still the tender red color of fresh beef, and there was even some juice of the beef itself hanging on it, Jiang Chen put the steak into his mouth and began to chew. It's not bad, it's much better than Jiang Chen imagined, first of all, the beef is really fresh, there is no strange taste, and there is the chef's slurry, so it is more delicious. Seeing Jiang Chen showing a satisfied expression, Vincent on the other side was a little dumbfounded. Deputy Director Song and the others next to him all frowned and looked at Jiang Chen with a disgusted expression. Even the little girl who accompanied the translator couldn't help but retched twice, which made Jiang Chen cry and laugh.
At this time, Vincent's steak was also served, of course, the color was more acceptable than Jiang Chen's, at least it didn't look bloody. Vincent was satisfied, gave the assistant who served the food a thumbs up and began to enjoy it. Jiang Chen looked at Vincent who was enjoying his face and smiled, and was about to continue to use his delicious food, but was interrupted by the chef's assistant who came over again: "Sir, excuse me." ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Jiang Chen turned his head and wondered.
The assistant smiled and then gestured to Jiang Chen with a bottle of wine in his hand and said, "Sir, our chef said that you are a real gourmet. Only a cooked steak can truly taste this gift from nature. That's why our chef has decided to give you this bottle of limited white wine from the Saint-Emilion region, which he believes is the best for the taste buds when paired with a top-quality white wine. Only such a good white wine can be worthy of such a good delicacy, and only such a delicacy can be worthy of this bottle of white wine, which is called the tears of France. Sir, I have to say that you are so lucky that this bottle of wine is not sold to the public, only friends of this origin manor, the owner will give such wine. Our chef is a close friend of the owner of this wine estate, and he has been treasured for seven years. ”
"Oh yes, it's so precious. Jiang Chen looked at the stunned people around him and took the lead in speaking: "I'm sorry, this is really too precious, I'm afraid I can't accept such a gift, thank you chef for your kindness for me." ”
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the assistant shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, sir, I respect your choice and wish you a pleasant meal." ”
Jiang Chen nodded and went on to enjoy the steak again. And the assistant went back to tell the chef about it. And the chef looked at Jiang Chen, then took the assistant's wine, walked to Jiang Chen's side, and smiled at him: "Sir, this is a little bit of my heart, just to express my appreciation for a real gourmet." ”
"No, Mr. Chef, it's too precious. Jiang Chen stood up and refused.
The chef shook his head and said, "No, it's just a bottle of wine, and even its ability is worthless, because it's never been on the market." I am giving it to you because I think you are entitled to enjoy such a sake, so please don't be worried. ”
Seeing that Jiang Chen wanted to say something more, the chef didn't wait for Jiang Chen to react, he opened the bottle of wine and smiled at Jiang Chen: "This bottle of wine has been opened by me, you know that in such an environment, even if it is resealed, then the taste of this bottle of wine will change quickly." This is what we call decanting, which makes the wine taste better, but does not take advantage of the long-term preservation of the bottle. Sir, you now have two choices, one is to accept my kindness and enjoy this bottle of wine. Second, if you still refuse, then the bottle of wine will be enjoyed by these young grasses. ”
